Learn how to declare, instantiate, and invoke delegates for scenarios that require dynamic method invocation, such as callback methods and custom sorting or filtering.
The Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet sends HTTP and HTTPS requests to a web page or web service. It parses the response and returns collections of links, images, and other significant HTML elements.
For all other method calls, you should use one of the invoke methods to marshal the call to the control's thread. The invoke methods always invoke their callbacks on the control's thread.
The Invoke-GPUpdate cmdlet refreshes Group Policy settings, including security settings that are set on remote computers by scheduling the running of the Gpupdate command on a remote computer.
Invoke-MgGraphRequest issues REST API requests to the Graph API. It works for any Graph API if you know the REST URI, method, and optional body parameter. This command is especially useful for accessing APIs for which there isn't an equivalent cmdlet yet.
The Invoke-Sqlcmd cmdlet runs a script containing the languages and commands supported by the SQL Server SQLCMD utility. The commands supported are Transact-SQL statements and the subset of the XQuery syntax that is supported by the database engine.
The Invoke-RestMethod cmdlet sends HTTP and HTTPS requests to Representational State Transfer (REST) web services that return richly structured data. PowerShell formats the response based to the data type.
This cmdlet is only available on the Windows platform. The Invoke-CimMethod cmdlet invokes a method of a CIM class or CIM instance using the name-value pairs specified by the Arguments parameter.
